Tour by coach

This 3-hour coach tour shows you the major historic buildings of Brussels, from those in the mediaeval city centre to contemporary buildings in the suburbs: the Grand'Place and its surroundings (on foot), the Sablon, the rue Royale, the Royal Palace and the museums district, the Palace of Justice and the panoramic view from the Place Poelaert, the district around the

Cinquantenaire Park, the Art Nouveau districts and the European district. The tour shows how Brussels, originally a trading-post at the crossroads of mediaeval trade-routes has been transformed by Neo-Classical architecture and by major nineteenth-century urban improvement projects to become a modern, model European city.
